Born in New York and raised in Southern California.

ART SCHOOL: A time of self-discovery. I grew up listening to 80's punk/gothic music. It's style and energy became a main influence during my art school years of which had me exploring such mediums as graphic design, video, computer graphics, printmaking, and photography. One of the most important times in my life!
